The Leaf's not green.

Scary it is, to comprehend, to understand,
The leaves are not green,colourless the dreamland.
Life's still short, but the beauty's gone,
Now lifeless is the crayon

Pale and drawn have we become.
Black and white our wisdom,
Are we what we really see,
Or just visions from another fantasy?

'Cause the leaf's not green
And the sky's not blue
Life is just playing with us
So shading the hues

And thus fools we are
Everything but what we see
The shades and colours
Dance about thus merrily.

So think thus of philosophy
Of balance and of boundary
Everything not what it seems
Still colourful the dreams.

'Cause the leaf's not green
And the sky's not blue
Life is just playing us
So shade the hues

What use the world,
What use these words,
Lets take the crayons and play,
And colour the world away.

And so at rest will this Beauty
Keep the smoldering anxiety.
And fill our hearts with new joy
New colours there to enjoy.


The Leaf 's not green
And the sky's not blue
But till my eyes open,
I will enjoy these hues
